What is Pre Interview Test?

PIT or the Pre-Interview Test is essentially an essay writing test. The 50-mark question paper consists of two sections: 1. Essay Writing 2. Short case-let.

The essay section carries 30 marks and the topics of the essay will range from issues on current socio-economic, geo-political scenarios to matters of cultural and political significance.

• The candidates must know that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer in topics like these. They will be assessed on their ability to articulate their opinion on the given topic in a crisp and succinct manner. Hence, they must read a lot and practice presenting their thoughts in clean sentences in a short duration.
• The section of the short-let case is designed to test the candidate’s social awareness and sensitivity to complex issues. The 20 mark section will have four questions based on a case-let to be answered within the stipulated time.
